Abstract

Observations made with the Wyoming 2.3 m infrared telescope indicate that the infrared source associated with MWC 349 is pointlike and centered on the brighter of the two visual components. The high observed reddening and lack of absorption lines suggest that both components are highly extinguished, hot blue stars which may be members of the Cygnus OB2 association. If this is indeed the case, MWC 349 may be an extremely luminous object.
